Lhasa Travel Tips No 1: Tibet Travel Permits

As a local travel agency, ChinaTourOnline.com is able to assist you to process all of those documents if you book a Tibet Tour with us. Meanwhile, the foreign diplomats and journalists are not allowed to travel Tibet unless getting the permitting of the relative department. In addition, the government encourages group tours to Tibet and the overseas tourists can not go to Tibet as an individual. If you really want a Tibet trip, you’d better join a tour group.
